Bad Influencer: Mae becomes the spokesperson for the Circle through perpetually live-streaming herself. Although she theoretically doesn't do anything illegal, she alienates herself from her parents, who run away to escape her, and uses her celebrity to petty revenge on Mercer that leads to him getting killed, allows Completion to occur by betraying Ty, causes her "best friend" Annie to have a breakdown and presumably attempt suicide, and plays a central role in normalizing the Circle's privacy-free misery. | |
